These are my theories, but I'm not particularly excited about either of them. ### Something to see They need something to show when you visit the website's index. Otherwise, `https://www.github.com/you/your-fork` is a really boring page. On the other hand, maybe it *should* be a boring page. ### Something for comparison They want to give visitors a meaningful ahead/behind summary. Conversely, this is exactly the thing I'm annoyed by: If my `main` doesn't track upstream, GitHub is going to tell people I'm 600 commits behind and ignore the short-lived branches where the real activity happens.
